The Diverse Background of Belaga Homestay
To know Sarawak's population, you need to find out more about the exact figure and information.

Belaga's population is dominantly Orang Ulu ethnics. Amongst many natives of Sarawak and Belaga particularly, Kenyah is found to be the most creative and talented in their traditional cultural, craftworks, wood curving, traditional music talented, bead weaving and design, traditional sketch drawing of painting, etc. An example of Kenyah's most popular folk music is sape. The origin of sape music is from the Kenyah ethnic. Kenyah plays sape in various tones which other ethnics cannot do. The other ethnics learned sape from Kenyah. The many tones of the sape music are closely related to the folklores, literatures and traditional hymn of the Kenyah, which other ethnics cannot do.
